It seems to me that many religious people who oppose the ToE are under the impression that others, including scientists and science-minded people, "believe" in the same way that religious people "believe" in gods.
Yes, it's the infamous
tu qouque argument.
Infact, I can prove you're correct because it's a vacuous truth that a person would believe in a fact. The name "evolutionist" is only created because of the opposition's existence.
So the linguistic relevancy can be shown. For example,
gravitationist. Ah - those great believers!
S0 I agree because in a way they're comparing unsound claims with sound claims, and saying they should both be treated as equally sound.
So a Biologist believes in the ToE, but it's known as a
vacuous truth. It's certainly unfair to accuse a Biologist of the same religiosity.
There's no comparison between a genuine faith and a relevant linguistic anomoly.
